2007 SUBARU IMPREZA Complaints

I RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE RECALL IN JULY 2016. IT IS NOW 10/31/16 AND I AM OLD THAT THE NEW AIRBAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WILL RECEIVE A LETTER WHEN MY CAR CAN BE REPAIRED, BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING TO DATE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THERE IS IMPACT OR IF WEATHER CONDITIONS IMPACT THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT SHRAPNEL CAN BE RELEASED AND CAN BE FATAL TO PASSENGER(S). I CANNOT CARRY PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE AND I AM ALSO CONCERNED FOR MY OWN WELL BEING DRIVING MY VEHICLE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE? MY WIFE IS READY TO BUY A NEW CAR BUT WE ARE UNSURE ABOUT HOW THIS RECALL HANGING OVER THE SUBARU IMPREZA IS GOING TO AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SELL OR TRADE IN THE CAR. WE ASSUME THE CAR CAN'T BE SOLD IN THIS CONDITION, AND THAT'S A BURDEN. PLEASE ADVISE: [email protected]

TAKATA RECALL SUBARU SENT A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 INDICATING THAT "SUBARU IS IN THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING PARTS NECESSARY TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR". MEANING THAT THEY ARE NOT PRESENTLY ABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." THIS IS ENTIRELY IMPRACTICAL. I DID NOT PURCHASE A SUBARU TO DRIVE IT WITH NO ONE ELSE IN THE FRONT SEAT! I NEED SUBARU TO EITHER REPAIR THE DEFECT IN A TIMELY FASHION, OR TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ALTERNATE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION.

TAKATA RECALL - I FINALLY RECEIVED ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM SUBARU OF AMERICA THAT I HAVE TWO AIRBAGS..TAKATA-SOURCED PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG AND TOYODA GOSEI DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED INDICATES THAT THEY WILL ONLY BE REPLACING THE TAKATA-SOURCED PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE...POSSIBLY NOT UNTIL FERUARY, 2017. TIMMONS SUBARU WHERE I PURCHASED THE SUBARU STATED THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR, BUT WILL NOT PAY FOR THE INSURANCE ON THE RENTAL CAR...TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I'M REQUESTING THAT BOTH MANUFACTURERS AIRBAGS BE REMOVED AND DO NOT WANT THEM REPLACED...IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE TOYODA GOSEI'S AIRBAGS ARE EXPLODING EITHER BEFORE DEPLOYMENT OR UPON DEPLOYMENT AS ARC'S DID RECENTLY. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU COULD SECURE THE INFORMATION ON THE TYPE OF PROPELLENT THAT TOYODA GOSEI IS USING IN THEIR AIRBAGS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THESE ISSUES.

WE BOUGHT OUR SUBARU IMPREZA WITH 119.000 MILES ON IT. THE MOTOR LEAKS OIL AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD GASKETS. OURS BLOW UP. WARP THE HEADS IN ANOTHER. WE HAVE DONE HAD 5 MOTORS PUT IN IT, N THEY ALL DO IT. THIS LAST MOTOR DOES IT BUT NOT AS BAD AS THE OTHER ONES. THE WARRANTY COMPANY ON OUR SUBARU SAID THEY GET ALOT OF CALLS ABOUT THIS PROMBLEM.
